A New Standard of Excellence

The Jobu Heavy Duty Mark IV picks up where the HD3 left off. We're never happy with the status quo, so we took the top-selling HD3 head and tweaked, revamped and redesigned everywhere we could. This work resulted in a stunningly light gimbal head, just barely over 35.27 oz.
• Arca-type compatible quick release
• Needle roller bearings for smoothness
• Rubberized knobs for cold and wet weather usage
• Powder-coat finish and black anodizing for durability
• 3/8"-16 female bottom thread
Jobu Design DMG-HD4 Features
- The DMG-HD4 is only 2lbs 2oz or 1010grams. Saving over 8oz on the BWG-HD3 - that is 1/2 a pound!
- Seriously stiffer! The new CNC swing-arm is upgraded with a solid billet aluminum horizontal arm offering fantastic stiffness and improved vibration control for big lenses
- Smooth tilt action! We have implemented a needle bearing system similar to our Jr.3 to offer unparalleled smoothness in the tilt axis. Even with a large load of camera and lens, there is virtually zero friction
- Easily adjustable friction levels with the main tilt-knob to find the sweet-spot for motion control
- Easy to steer! Rubberized knobs are comfortable and easy on the hands and hold well under cold and wet conditions
- Powdercoat finish on the main body and black anodizing on all the aluminum parts makes for long term weatherability and durability
- The 3.0" plate is suitable for smaller lenses or camera bodies, and is enough for most people to get practicing right away with their gimbal heads. We still recommend a custom-fit plate, but you will always find a use for this handy accessory. Includes allen keys and 1/4"-3/8" adapter bushing
- New! Camouflage dust-bag is also included with the DMG-HD4
